The following are some resources which contain useful information about localisation and the localisation industry.
Designed with localisation and in particular the need for
SimShip in mind, Brandt Technologies' Shadow™ testing suite allows manual & automated testing of multiple operating
systems simultaneously. Control many systems (or VMware machines) with one keyboard and mouse.
Used for multiple browser testing or localization SimShip testing. Shadow™ uses image-based technology to "see",
meaning it can also test software with non standard GUIs, emulators, remote applications and Flash applications.
A free evaluation version of Shadow™ is available on the Brandt Technologies site.
